| Is the B&W 600 series a good value? If you are drawn to the 805's, I would get them. Very little risk on your part at that price.I like the Decco and have heard it power some nice Vienna Acoustics floor standers to moderate volumes without losing control. But I have heard similar am... | |

| Is the B&W 600 series a good value? Loomisjohnson,The current B&W 600 series was designed in UK and is built in China - so a good value compared to other products currently on the market assuming you like the way they sound. I think the 600's sound pretty good. The CM series is ... | |
